Statewide Measures

There were sixteen propositions on the statewide ballot November 2nd,
assigned proposition numbers 59 to 72, plus 60A and 1A. The
Peace and Freedom Party took positions on most of them.

Proposition 62 (voter pamphlet summary and arguments available as a
190 KB PDF,
full text as a
301 KB PDF):
"No Choice" initiative would put all candidates from all parties
on a single blanket primary ballot for all partisan offices except President.
Only the top two primary-election candidates with most votes for an office,
whether or not members of the same party, would go on to the general election.
This is similar to the election systems used in France and Louisiana,
resulting in runoffs between open racists like Jacques LePen and David Duke
and corrupt establishment politicians, with no progressive alternative
allowed on that ballot. The proponents of this initiative think it will
guarantee that socially-moderate, pro-business candidates like Democrats
Gray Davis and Dianne Feinstein and Republicans Richard Riordan and Arnold
Schwarzenegger won't lose to labor oriented progressives or religious right
conservatives in their party primaries.
Peace and Freedom recommended a NO vote on this initiative.
With our opposition, Proposition 62 failed by a statewide vote of
5,136,010 (46.3%) Yes to 5,954,969 (53.7%) No.
In Los Angeles County, the vote was 1,184,087 (44.7%) Yes to 1,466,028 (55.3%) No.
For more detailed results, see pages 32 to 34 (of the section, numbered pages

Proposition 66: (voter pamphlet summary and arguments available as a
175 KB PDF,
full text as a
200 KB PDF):
This initiative circulated by FACTS would modify three strikes law by
requiring that second and third strikes be serious or violent felonies and
narrowing definitions of what crimes are "serious or violent" and
when two convictions constitute separate strikes. Applies retroactively to
reduce the long sentences some prisoners received for petty crimes. Also
increases penalties for some sex crimes against children.
Peace and Freedom recommended a YES vote on this initiative.

of 5,604,060 (47.3%) Yes to 6,238,060 (52.7%) No.

for a generally good purpose, but our general opposition to bonds determined

services should be properly funded, but not by a regressive tax that costs
poor people more than the rich. Peace and Freedom advocates a single-payer
health care system funded by progressive taxation, which would pay for
emergency medical services without the need for any special, dedicated
funding.

enter it into a statewide database.
